Marrow Cleansing

Executing the same exercise again and again while gradually turning numb to the pain which assaulted him nonstop, Li Feng did his best to push down the uncomfortable inside him while training using the Nine Nirvana Body.

This was because, even though Li Feng could follow the exercises given in it without any problem, there was no way to ignore the fact that this technique hadn't been made for humans.

Moving his limbs in such a way which put so much strain that even his ankles were all red despite having used them to just move one step forward and then one step back, Li Feng was sure that these training exercises were never intended to be used by humans.

Perhaps, only those beasts who were born with stronger physiques than humans were qualified to train in this.

BOOM!!!

Groaning in pain as he pulled his arm back, Li Feng threw another punch forward according to the technique inside his head.

The Nine Nirvana Body, other than requiring nine vital parts of the practitioner to be destroyed and reformed, provided a set of exercises to temper the body and make it grow stronger.

Spending an entire night to learn and understand as much about the Nine Nirvana Body as possible, Li Feng managed to comprehend less than a tenth of the technique which was too profound despite only showing him the exercises regarding how he should move his body.

'Fuck!!! So painful!!!!'

TING!!!

Mouth dropping open as the sound of a stretched string suddenly snapping appeared, Li Feng couldn't even scream from pain as he fell to his knees and looked towards his right arm which other than being covered in blood had suddenly grown twice in size.

Unfortunately, this didn't happen because Li Feng had managed to achieve a breakthrough or any such thing.

No no. What happened right now was the tendon in Li Feng's right arm snapping due to not being able to stand with the pressure and stress placed on it all of a sudden since this morning onwards.

Honestly, the Nine Nirvana Body didn't prescribe such a bloody training.

In fact, it didn't even reveal the ways one had to destroy the nine core parts of them either. All it revealed was how to heal them using Phoenix Qi so that they'd be reborn and become even stronger.

So, why was Li Feng mutilating himself when the exercises didn't ask him to?

The reason was quite simple and straightforward.

Since Li Feng had chosen to temper his body first, the longer he travelled on this path, the stronger his physical body would become and sooner or later reach a stage where even knives and swords couldn't harm his bare skin.

When that happened, how would Li Feng manage to destroy the remaining eight parts and then recreate them to achieve the perfect Nirvana State?

With such thoughts, Li Feng began damaging his skin, flesh, muscle, tendon, bones and everything else he could think of as possible right now while using the exercises to pressure them at the same time in hopes of achieving his second, and then the subsequent Nirvanas.

Therefore, even though his tendon had literally snapped and filled him with a pain which made him want to cut his arm off in hopes of stopping the pain, Li Feng pushed himself to his feet and continued training.

Legs apart, right leg forward, centre of gravity a little to the back, arms to the side, slight jump, squeeze the muscles, boom!

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

Screaming loudly and sending shivers down the spine of everyone who heard him, Li Feng slammed his right arm against the wall made of Tempered Bronze.

Even though controlling his arm below the elbow was proving to be a very hard and near impossible task due to his tendon being snapped, Li Feng didn't even think about healing himself and continued with the training.

According to not just the Nine Nirvana Body, but every technique that dealt with Marrow Cleansing, the cultivator had to continue exercising until their body was completely exhausted of all energy.

And on the path to do that, stopping midway would only force the cultivator to restart from the beginning.

Doing so would not be much of a problem because all they would need to do was rest and then restart exercising. However, stopping repeatedly and then restarting would definitely deal damage to the cultivator's will and might even make it impossible to ever cleanse their marrow due to which stopping midway was greatly frowned upon.

Knowing this, Li Feng continued slamming his fist against the wall made of Tempered Bronze until he was thoroughly exhausted and could no longer continue.

…

"Young master is working so hard…. But the technique left behind by Mistress isn't such a violent one."

Tilting her head in confusion, Yu Yan continued watching Li Feng until his entire arm had turned limp and was covered in bulging veins which looked like they would burst at any second.

Next, Li Feng suddenly sat on the floor and stopped tormenting his poor arm.

Wincing from the pain which assaulted him when he rested his arm on himself upon sitting cross legged, Li Feng's entire body looked very pitiful due to how injured he was.

Narrowing her eyes, Yu Yan couldn't hide the shock in them upon witnessing the huge amount of Qi flowing inside Li Feng's body.

Even though she hadn't trained in the technique her Mistress had left behind for Li Feng, just the flow and pattern of Qi which entered his body was enough to let her know that her young master wasn't training in the technique his mother left for him.

But, there was essentially nothing she could do other than watching because at the end of the day she was just a servant and didn't dare run her mouth carelessly.
